At our companies website we supply all objects with a unique id 
(generated by
unixes 'genuuid') and als added this property to the portal_catalog. 
Different
translations have the same uuid and a different Language assigned.

Objects can reside anywhere in the site and related translations are 
allways
findable by using the portal catalog.

For default pages for folders different language versions can be added 
and a folder
index_html script will select the correct translation depending on the 
set language
in the request.
